Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch springform cake pan with a little butter and line with greaseproof paper.
  2. Using a double boiler, or by placing a heatproof bowl over a pot of water simmering on medium heat, melt the butter and dark chocolate. Roughly chop or break the chocolate into smaller pieces and roughly chop butter, add to the saucepan and allow to melt, stirring occasionally until smooth and glossy.
  3. Once melted, carefully remove from the heat, add coffee and set aside to cool.
  4. In a stand mixer, or using a large bowl and a whisk, add the egg whites and beat until soft peaks form. (You can keep the eggs whole and beat the whole eggs until they double in volume, however separating the whites and the yolks make a lighter cake.)
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks and combine with maple syrup, cocoa powder, and sea salt. Add in the cooled chocolate and butter mixture and stir to combine.
  6. In batches, add in the beaten egg whites to the chocolate mixture folding it in to combine until all of the egg whites have been added.
  7. Pour batter into the springform pan and use a spatula to spread out the batter evenly.
  8. Transfer pan to the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, remove from the springform pan and decorate with cocoa powder and fresh berries.
  10. If you are adding the chocolate ganache, heat coconut milk and chocolate in a small saucepan until smooth. Once melted it will be rich and velvety, pour slowly over the cake and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
  11. Decorate with fresh raspberries, and transfer the ganache covered cake to the fridge for 5-10 minutes to solidify.
  12. Slice, serve and enjoy!
